While we highly recommend that exploring internship (实习) opportunities can be a powerful way for you to develop real-world skills. Now, let’s dive into a comprehensive review of Ladder internships. What is Ladder Internships? Ladder Internships is a selective programme for high school students to work with startups. As part of their internship, each student will work on a real-world project and present their work at the end of their internship. Who can participate in Ladder Internships? The programme is open to high school students, undergraduates and gap year students! However, you must make sure that you can commit from 10-15 hours every week for 8 weeks. What can you expect as a Ladder intern? The programme starts with your placement decision. Ladder works closely with companies to pre-determine bite-sized projects that are of genuine use to the companies. If you are interested in working in a specific area and convey it in the application form, chances are that you’ll get paired with a company that reflects these interests! Regular meetings and discussion about deliverables: Throughout the 8-week internship, you will have a 45-minute meeting with your intern manager weekly. You will also discuss weekly deadlines and progress goals. Consult your coach in the company, who will give you feedback on your work. At the Week 4 mark, you can show your first deliverable to the company, and at Week 8, you will present your final project to the company! What is the cost of the programme? The 8-week programme costs $1,990. If the cost is a barrier, you can consider applying for financial aid. 1. What’s the minimum time for an intern to invest in the programme? A. 8 hours. B. 15 hours. C. 80 hours. D. 120 hours. 2. What will an intern do in the programme? A. Work online with project managers. B. Turn to the coach for guidance. C. Discuss the progress with teammates. D. Submit the final work result at Week 4. 3. Who is the text intended for? A. Managers hiring new workers. B. Schools in pursuit of cooperation. C. Students eager for hands-on skills. D. Gap-year students looking for jobs. B This summer, I marked what some call a “milestone birthday”. My approach to birthdays is usually twofold: fear them in advance and bear them in the moment. But this year, I decided to confront my birthday directly instead of tolerating it awkwardly. Rather than wait to receive cards and gifts, why not celebrate my birthday by giving presents to others? Maybe turning tradition upside down would assuage my discomfort. Science was on my side. Studies have found that spending money on others makes us happier than spending money on ourselves. “We observe this all over the world, even in places where people are struggling to meet their own basic needs. Charitable contributions activate the reward centres of our brain that spark for delights such as music and food,” Elizabeth Dunn, a University of British Columbia psychology professor told me. Armed with these studies, I began planning my experiment. The gift had to be small enough to mail in an envelope and meaningful enough to touch hearts. I decided on pencils. I located a vendor (商贩) in Central California who could customize pencils. I ordered them in pink to honour my last name. And I engraved (雕刻) them with three messages about pencils that double as messages about life: Stay sharp. Get to the point. Erasing is creating. With my wife, I turned our kitchen table into a fulfillment centre. We printed labels, slid three pencils into a sleeve and each sleeve into an envelope. Then, in two walks to our neighbourhood post office, we sent 98 gifts out to the world. A few days later, I got texts and emails from the pencil recipients (收件者). I heard from about three-fourths of them that they like the gift. Several people sent photos of their new pink pencils along with thanks or birthday wishes. A few told me how touched they were that I thought of them. One person texted fire and heart emojis. This exercise deepened my sense of gratitude and connection. For a few moments, I forgot I was turning okay, I’ll say the number now, 60. 4. What does the underlined word “assuage” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Ease. B. Cause. C. Hide. D. Express. 5. What can we learn from Elizabeth Dunn’s words in Paragraph 2? A. People worldwide observe birthdays. B. Giving offers people more pleasure. C. Material wealth generates charity. D. People in need are more likely to donate. 6. Why did the author tailor the pencils pink? A. To entertain children. B. To make them striking. C. To highlight the messages on them. D. To bear a mark of himself. 7. What’s Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How the pencils were packed and sent. B. How the author’s birthday was celebrated. C. How people responded to the author’s gift. D. How the author reflected on the experience. C Britain’s only remaining coal power plant will generate electricity for the last time today, after operating for 57 years. The power station at Ratcliffe in Nottingham shire will come to the end of its life in line with the government’s policy to phase out coal power, which was first signalled almost a decade ago. The closure marks the end of Britain’s 142-year history of coal power use, which began when the world’s first coal-fired power station, the Holborn Viaduct in central London, began generating electricity in 1882. The closure has been regarded as a big milestone in reducing the UK’s carbon emissions. The UK became the first country to set an end-date for coal power from 2025 after putting in place increasingly strict regulations to reduce the running hours of coal plants. Ministers called for the deadline to come forward by a year shortly before the UK hosted the UN’s Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow in late 2021. Peter O’Grady, the plant manager, said, “This whole year has been a series of sad moments. I’m sure there will be a few tears as the whole thing stops and as people leave, especially for me.” The plant once employed 3,000 engineers but its workforce has declined in line with its power output over recent years. Coal power made up 80% of the UK’s electricity in the early1980s, and 40% in 2014, which was due to costly carbon taxes and the rise of cheap renewables. Staff were first told in 2021 that the plant would close in late 2022, but Ratcliffe’s owner, the German energy company Uniper, reached an agreement with the government to keep the plant running during the Europe-wide gas crisis. Uniper has tried to help engineers into jobs at the company’s other power plants or into training that could lead to work in other areas of the energy industry. Michael Lewis, Uniper’s chief executive, said, “This will be the first time since 1882 that coal has not powered Great Britain. We’re embracing (拥抱) the future of cleaner and flexible energy.” 8. Why is the coal power plant in the UK put to an end? A. To respond to the call of the government. B. To turn around the situation of losing money. C. To follow the trend started by other countries. D. To stimulate other industries to cut carbon emissions. 9. How does Peter O’Grady feel about the closure of the coal power plant? A. Scared. B. Upset. C. Surprised. D. Pleased. 10. What might have caused the decreased use of coal power in the UK ten years ago? A. The decline of workforce. B. The reduction of coal tax. C. The development of new energies. D. The conservation of non-renewable resources. 11. What will happen to the engineers of the coal power plant in the UK? A. They will be dismissed. B. They may work in other industries. C. They will go abroad in search of jobs. D. They may receive considerate arrangements. D Hearing a song might bring to mind the last time we saw a live band perform it. We may remember hearing the song on a road trip with high school friends, and be brought back to the sights, smells, and feelings of that experience. All of these experiences have been referred to as “music-evoked (引起) thoughts”, and recent research has sought to understand why certain thoughts occur in response to certain music. In one study, my workmates and I compared thoughts evoked by instrumental excerpts (节选) of unfamiliar classical, electronic, and pop／rock music. Overall, listeners reported thoughts 76 percent of the time. However, the occurrence of thoughts varied across music types. Classical and electronic music evoked more thoughts than pop/rock music. This doesn’t necessarily mean pop/rock music types are unengaging. Rather, types like classical and electronic music might provide greater visual mental imagery, whereas pop/rock music might invite listeners to engage in different ways, like dancing or singing along. We also found links related to the contexts with which we associate music. Electronic music tended to evoke thoughts about clubbing and video games, pop/rock music evoked thoughts about live performances and driving, and classical music thoughts about movies and weddings. Classical music led listeners to great capability to imagine fictional stories, as it was often composed specifically with the aim of evoking an imagined story. These contextual associations may vary across different cultures. A recent study revealed that fictional stories reported while enjoying classical music were highly similar in two groups of young adults in the US, but the stories generated by listeners in Germany in response to these same excerpts were significantly different. This suggests that even when asked to generate entirely fictional stories, listeners are influenced by their prior associations with music. This speaks to general theories that our memories play a substantial role in shaping imagination. Understanding how different music evokes different thoughts is important for various practical uses. For instance, a doctor might aim to trigger (触发) specific types of thoughts via music when working with a client, or an artist might engage a more creative thinking mode by listening to a particular piece of music. 12. What can we learn about “music-evoked thoughts” from Paragraph 2? A. They vary with different types of music. B. They are few occurrences in music listening. C. They involve people in dancing to the music. D. They strike people during engaging music play. 13. What is unique about classical music? A. It was associated with clubbing. B. It provided listeners with real contexts. C. It was intended to stimulate imagination. D. It was played more slowly than other music types. 14. What greatly influenced listeners’ imagination? A. The development level of their country. B. The previous music-related experiences. C. The education they received while young. D. The types of story they were asked to create. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Where Does Our Memory Come from? B. Do Music Imaginings Vary with Cultures? C. Does Listening to Music Help Story Creation? D. How Does Different Music Shape Our Imagined Thoughts? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’re trying to concentrate, but your mind is wandering or you’re easily distracted (分心). Like a computer that slows with use, the brain accumulates (积累) wear and tear that affects processing. ___16___ To improve attention, consider the following strategies. Practise mindfulness. “Mindfulness is about focusing attention on the present moment, and practising mindfulness has been shown to rewire the brain so that attention is stronger,” says Kim Willment, a neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) with Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She recommends sitting still for a few minutes each day, closing your eyes and regulating your breathing. ___17___ Take cognitive training. Computerized cognitive training games are aimed at improving your response and attention. ___18___ “The goal of playing these games is not to get better at them, but to get better in daily activities,” Willment says. “But there is evidence that a person’s ability to pay attention can be improved by progressively pushing the person to higher levels of performance and this may translate to everyday life.” Keep a healthy lifestyle. Many aspects of a healthy lifestyle can help attention, starting with sleep and exercise. When we sleep, we reduce stress hormones that can be harmful to the brain and we clear out proteins that injure it. ___19___ When you exercise, you increase the availability of brain chemicals that promote new brain connections, reduce stress, and improve sleep. Try 150 minutes per week of aerobic (有氧的) exercise, such as brisk walking. ___20___“Read something for 30 minutes, setting a timer to go off every five minutes. When it goes off, ask yourself if your mind has wandered. If so, just refocus on what you’re reading,” she says. By doing this, you strengthen the monitoring process and the ability to maintain focus on a single task. A. Read patiently. B. Perform a single-task exercise. C. Evidence that this works has been mixed. D. Some drugs can slow our ability to think clearly. E. So aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night. F. By focusing on yourself, you get your attention back. G. This can be caused by stressors such as sleep disorders and overloaded information. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A South Carolina father made a dangerous 30-mile journey on foot through Hurricane Helene-ravaged (肆虐) Tennessee.

Jefferson County Public School bus driver Larry Farrish Jr. was travelling on his usual route picking up students and send them to nine different schools of the district. But when he stopped to collect first-grader Levi Carrier, he noticed that something was wrong. Because every morning, when he pulled up to the 125th street bus stop, Levi would wave to him with a broad smile on his face and greet him with “Good morning, sir”. That morning, Larry noticed a sad look on Levi’s tear-stained face. Larry asked Levi what was wrong when Levi stepped on the bus. Levi looked up at Larry, face full of tears again and told Larry that he didn’t have any pajamas (睡衣) on the Annual Pajamas’ Day of his school. Larry immediately made sense of the situation. Obviously, the pajama meant a lot to the boy. Larry comforted Levi, asked him to take a seat and promised Levi he would figure it out. Larry knew that the community Levi lived in was a low-income one. People there often couldn’t make ends meet and didn’t have basic living conveniences, such as a washer, dryer hookup or sufficient rooms for the kids. It was not hard to imagine Levi’s situation. All the kids of Levi’s school on the bus were in pajamas of different colours and patterns, talking and laughing all the way except Levi, who was looking down at the bus floor, his hands clutching (紧握) his corner of his worn jacket. After about half an hour, Larry finished his assigned route and dropped all the students off at their respective schools. He sat in his seat for a while, his mind racing for ideas. A few minutes later, his brow (眉毛) relaxed. He called the bus monitor. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He said he had something urgent to deal with. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The picture of the two was posted on the Internet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CACCB 6-10 AABCB 11-15 BABCC 16-20 BCBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 2024~2025学年高三11月测评(福建) 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

My approach to birthdays is usually twofold: fear them in advance and bear them in the moment. But this year, I decided to confront my birthday directly instead of tolerating it awkwardly. Rather than wait to receive cards and gifts, why not celebrate my birthday by giving presents to others? Maybe turning tradition upside down would assuage my discomfort. Science was on my side. Studies have found that spending money on others makes us happier than spending money on ourselves. “We observe this all over the world, even in places where people are struggling to meet their own basic needs. Charitable contributions activate the reward centres of our brain that spark for delights such as music and food,” Elizabeth Dunn, a University of British Columbia psychology professor told me. Armed with these studies, I began planning my experiment. The gift had to be small enough to mail in an envelope and meaningful enough to touch hearts. I decided on pencils. I located a vendor (商贩) in Central California who could customize pencils. I ordered them in pink to honour my last name. And I engraved (雕刻) them with three messages about pencils that double as messages about life: Stay sharp. Get to the point. Erasing is creating. With my wife, I turned our kitchen table into a fulfillment centre. We printed labels, slid three pencils into a sleeve and each sleeve into an envelope. Then, in two walks to our neighbourhood post office, we sent 98 gifts out to the world. A few days later, I got texts and emails from the pencil recipients (收件者). I heard from about three-fourths of them that they like the gift. Several people sent photos of their new pink pencils along with thanks or birthday wishes. A few told me how touched they were that I thought of them. One person texted fire and heart emojis. This exercise deepened my sense of gratitude and connection. For a few moments, I forgot I was turning okay, I’ll say the number now, 60. 4. What does the underlined word “assuage” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Ease. B. Cause. C. Hide. D. Express. 5. What can we learn from Elizabeth Dunn’s words in Paragraph 2? A. People worldwide observe birthdays. B. Giving offers people more pleasure. C. Material wealth generates charity. D. People in need are more likely to donate. 6. Why did the author tailor the pencils pink? A. To entertain children. B. To make them striking. C. To highlight the messages on them. D. To bear a mark of himself. 7. What’s Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How the pencils were packed and sent. B. How the author’s birthday was celebrated. C. How people responded to the author’s gift. D. How the author reflected on the experience. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在过60岁生日时，决定打破传统，不等亲朋给自己送礼物，而是主动给他们送礼物，这让作者得到了满足，收获了感恩。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“My approach to birthdays is usually twofold: fear them in advance and bear them in the moment. But this year, I decided to confront my birthday directly instead of tolerating it awkwardly.(我对生日的态度通常是双重的：提前害怕它们，在当下忍受它们。但今年，我决定直面我的生日，而不是尴尬地忍受它。)”可知，作者对过生日一直感觉不自在，而今年他决定不再尴尬地忍受生日，由此可推测出，“Maybe turning tradition upside down would assuage my discomfort.”表达的是颠覆传统或许能够缓解不自在，assuage意为“缓解”，与ease意思一致。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Studies have found that spending money on others makes us happier than spending money on ourselves. “We observe this all over the world, even in places where people are struggling to meet their own basic needs. Charitable contributions activate the reward centres of our brain that spark for delights such as music and food,” Elizabeth Dunn, a University of British Columbia psychology professor told me.(研究发现，为别人花钱比为自己花钱更让我们快乐。不列颠哥伦比亚大学心理学教授Elizabeth Dunn告诉我：“我们在世界各地都观察到了这一现象，即使是在人们努力满足自己基本需求的地方。慈善捐献激活了我们大脑的奖励中心，这个中心激发人们对音乐和食物等快乐的渴望。”)”可知，研究表明为他人花钱比为自己花钱更令人快乐，接着引用了Elizabeth Dunn的观点来证明这一点，由此可推测出，给予能够给人们带来更多快乐。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I ordered them in pink to honour my last name.(为了纪念我的姓氏，我订了粉红色的。)”可知，作者订购粉色铅笔是为了纪念自己的姓氏，由此可推测出，作者想要留下自己的印记。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“A few days later, I got texts and emails from the pencil recipients(收件者). I heard from about three-fourths of them that they like the gift. Several people sent photos of their new pink pencils along with thanks or birthday wishes. A few told me how touched they were that I thought of them. One person texted fire and heart emojis.(几天后，我收到了铅笔收件人短信和电子邮件。我从他们中大约四分之三的人那里收到来信说他们喜欢这份礼物。有几个人寄来了他们新粉色铅笔的照片，并附上了感谢或生日祝福。有几个人告诉我，他们对我能想到他们有多感动。一个人发了火和心的表情符号。)”可知，本段主要讲述了收到礼物的人给作者的反馈。故选C。 C Britain’s only remaining coal power plant will generate electricity for the last time today, after operating for 57 years. The power station at Ratcliffe in Nottingham shire will come to the end of its life in line with the government’s policy to phase out coal power, which was first signalled almost a decade ago. The closure marks the end of Britain’s 142-year history of coal power use, which began when the world’s first coal-fired power station, the Holborn Viaduct in central London, began generating electricity in 1882. The closure has been regarded as a big milestone in reducing the UK’s carbon emissions. The UK became the first country to set an end-date for coal power from 2025 after putting in place increasingly strict regulations to reduce the running hours of coal plants. Ministers called for the deadline to come forward by a year shortly before the UK hosted the UN’s Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow in late 2021. Peter O’Grady, the plant manager, said, “This whole year has been a series of sad moments. I’m sure there will be a few tears as the whole thing stops and as people leave, especially for me.” The plant once employed 3,000 engineers but its workforce has declined in line with its power output over recent years. Coal power made up 80% of the UK’s electricity in the early1980s, and 40% in 2014, which was due to costly carbon taxes and the rise of cheap renewables. Staff were first told in 2021 that the plant would close in late 2022, but Ratcliffe’s owner, the German energy company Uniper, reached an agreement with the government to keep the plant running during the Europe-wide gas crisis. Uniper has tried to help engineers into jobs at the company’s other power plants or into training that could lead to work in other areas of the energy industry. Michael Lewis, Uniper’s chief executive, said, “This will be the first time since 1882 that coal has not powered Great Britain. We’re embracing (拥抱) the future of cleaner and flexible energy.” 8. Why is the coal power plant in the UK put to an end? A. To respond to the call of the government. B. To turn around the situation of losing money. C. To follow the trend started by other countries. D. To stimulate other industries to cut carbon emissions. 9. How does Peter O’Grady feel about the closure of the coal power plant? A Scared. B. Upset. C. Surprised. D. Pleased. 10. What might have caused the decreased use of coal power in the UK ten years ago? A. The decline of workforce. B. The reduction of coal tax. C. The development of new energies. D. The conservation of non-renewable resources. 11. What will happen to the engineers of the coal power plant in the UK? A. They will be dismissed. B. They may work in other industries. C. They will go abroad in search of jobs. D. They may receive considerate arrangements. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了英国最后一家燃煤电厂在运营57年后最后一次发电，并介绍了此举的背景、意义以及对电厂员工的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The power station at Ratcliffe in Nottingham shire will come to the end of its life in line with the government’s policy to phase out coal power, which was first signalled almost a decade ago.(诺丁汉郡拉特克利夫发电站将根据其政府逐步淘汰煤电的政策而终止运营，这一政策几乎在十年前就已首次提出)”可知，英国的燃煤电厂被终止是为了响应政府的号召。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Peter O’Grady, the plant manager, said, ‘This whole year has been a series of sad moments. I’m sure there will be a few tears as the whole thing stops and as people leave, especially for me.’(工厂经理彼得·奥格雷迪说：‘这一整年都是一系列悲伤的时刻。我相信当这一切停止，人们离开时，尤其是对我而言，一定会流泪。’)”可知，Peter O’Grady对于燃煤电厂的关闭感到难过。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Coal power made up 80% of the UK’s electricity in the early1980s, and 40% in 2014, which was due to costly carbon taxes and the rise of cheap renewables.(20世纪80年代初，煤电占英国电力的80%，而2014年占40%，这是由于昂贵的碳税和廉价可再生能源的兴起)”可知，十年前英国煤电使用量减少可能是由于新能源的发展。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Uniper has tried to help engineers into jobs at the company’s other power plants or into training that could lead to work in other areas of the energy industry.(尤尼珀公司试图帮助工程师进入该公司其他电厂的工作岗位，或接受培训，以便在能源行业的其他领域工作)”可知，英国的燃煤电厂的工程师们可能会得到周到的安排。故选D项。 D Hearing a song might bring to mind the last time we saw a live band perform it. We may remember hearing the song on a road trip with high school friends, and be brought back to the sights, smells, and feelings of that experience. All of these experiences have been referred to as “music-evoked (引起) thoughts”, and recent research has sought to understand why certain thoughts occur in response to certain music. In one study, my workmates and I compared thoughts evoked by instrumental excerpts (节选) of unfamiliar classical, electronic, and pop／rock music. Overall, listeners reported thoughts 76 percent of the time. However, the occurrence of thoughts varied across music types. Classical and electronic music evoked more thoughts than pop/rock music. This doesn’t necessarily mean pop/rock music types are unengaging. Rather, types like classical and electronic music might provide greater visual mental imagery, whereas pop/rock music might invite listeners to engage in different ways, like dancing or singing along. We also found links related to the contexts with which we associate music. Electronic music tended to evoke thoughts about clubbing and video games, pop/rock music evoked thoughts about live performances and driving, and classical music thoughts about movies and weddings. Classical music led listeners to great capability to imagine fictional stories, as it was often composed specifically with the aim of evoking an imagined story. These contextual associations may vary across different cultures. A recent study revealed that fictional stories reported while enjoying classical music were highly similar in two groups of young adults in the US, but the stories generated by listeners in Germany in response to these same excerpts were significantly different. This suggests that even when asked to generate entirely fictional stories, listeners are influenced by their prior associations with music. This speaks to general theories that our memories play a substantial role in shaping imagination. Understanding how different music evokes different thoughts is important for various practical uses. For instance, a doctor might aim to trigger (触发) specific types of thoughts via music when working with a client, or an artist might engage a more creative thinking mode by listening to a particular piece of music. 12. What can we learn about “music-evoked thoughts” from Paragraph 2? A. They vary with different types of music. B. They are few occurrences in music listening. C. They involve people in dancing to the music. D. They strike people during engaging music play. 13. What is unique about classical music? A. It was associated with clubbing. B. It provided listeners with real contexts. C. It was intended to stimulate imagination. D. It was played more slowly than other music types. 14. What greatly influenced listeners’ imagination? A. The development level of their country. B. The previous music-related experiences. C. The education they received while young. D. The types of story they were asked to create. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Where Does Our Memory Come from? B. Do Music Imaginings Vary with Cultures? C. Does Listening to Music Help Story Creation? D. How Does Different Music Shape Our Imagined Thoughts? 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释和探讨音乐如何引发人们的不同思绪，提供了关于音乐与思绪之间关系的深入理解。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In one study, my workmates and I compared thoughts evoked by instrumental excerpts (节选) of unfamiliar classical，electronic, and pop／rock music. Overall, listeners reported thoughts 76 percent of the time. However, the occurrence of thoughts varied across music types. Classical and electronic music evoked more thoughts than pop/rock music. This doesn’t necessarily mean pop/rock music types are unengaging. Rather, types like classical and electronic music might provide greater visual mental imagery, whereas pop/rock music might invite listeners to engage in different ways, like dancing or singing along.(在一项研究中，我和我的同事们比较了不熟悉的古典、电子和流行/摇滚乐器节选所引发的思绪。总体而言，76%的时间里听众都会报告有思绪产生。然而，思绪的产生在不同类型的音乐中有所不同。古典和电子音乐比流行/摇滚音乐更能引发思绪。这并不一定意味着流行/摇滚音乐类型不吸引人。相反，像古典和电子音乐这样的类型可能提供了更丰富的视觉心理意象，而流行/摇滚音乐可能会以不同的方式吸引听众参与，比如跳舞或跟唱。)”可知，第二段讲述了不同类型的音乐会引发不同的思绪，即它们随着不同类型的音乐而变化。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Classical music led listeners to great capability to imagine fictional stories, as it was often composed specifically with the aim of evoking an imagined story.(古典音乐让听众有极大的能力去想象虚构的故事，因为它通常是为了引发想象中的故事而专门创作的。)”可知，古典音乐的独特之处在于它的目的是激发听众的想象力。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“This suggests that even when asked to generate entirely fictional stories, listeners are influenced by their prior associations with music. This speaks to general theories that our memories play a substantial role in shaping imagination.(这表明，即使被要求创作完全虚构的故事，听众也会受到他们之前与音乐的联系的影响。这印证了普遍的观点，即我们的记忆在塑造想象力方面起着重要作用。)”可知，听众之前的音乐相关经历极大地影响了他们的想象力。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段“Hearing a song might bring to mind the last time we saw a live band perform it.

All of these experiences have been referred to as “music-evoked (引起) thoughts”, and recent research has sought to understand why certain thoughts occur in response to certain music.(听到一首歌可能会让我们想起上次看到现场乐队演奏它的情景。我们可能会回想起在高中朋友一起的公路旅行中听到这首歌的那一刻，以及当时所见的景象、所闻的气味和所感受的情感。所有这些经历都被称为“音乐引发的思绪”，而最近的研究试图理解为什么某些音乐会引发特定的思绪。)”，提出最近的研究试图理解为什么某些音乐会引发特定的思绪；接着文章详细描述了不同类型音乐对听众想象力的影响，以及音乐与听众想象力之间的关系；最后一段提到“Understanding how different music evokes different thoughts is important for various practical uses(理解不同的音乐如何唤起不同的想法对于各种实际应用都很重要。)”。由此可知，文章主要讲述的是不同的音乐是如何塑造我们的想象思维的。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’re trying to concentrate, but your mind is wandering or you’re easily distracted (分心). Like a computer that slows with use, the brain accumulates (积累) wear and tear that affects processing. ___16___ To improve attention, consider the following strategies. Practise mindfulness. “Mindfulness is about focusing attention on the present moment, and practising mindfulness has been shown to rewire the brain so that attention is stronger,” says Kim Willment, a neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) with Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She recommends sitting still for a few minutes each day, closing your eyes and regulating your breathing. ___17___ Take cognitive training. Computerized cognitive training games are aimed at improving your response and attention. ___18___ “The goal of playing these games is not to get better at them, but to get better in daily activities,” Willment says. “But there is evidence that a person’s ability to pay attention can be improved by progressively pushing the person to higher levels of performance and this may translate to everyday life.” Keep a healthy lifestyle. Many aspects of a healthy lifestyle can help attention, starting with sleep and exercise. When we sleep, we reduce stress hormones that can be harmful to the brain and we clear out proteins that injure it. ___19___ When you exercise, you increase the availability of brain chemicals that promote new brain connections, reduce stress, and improve sleep. Try 150 minutes per week of aerobic (有氧的) exercise, such as brisk walking. ___20___“Read something for 30 minutes, setting a timer to go off every five minutes. When it goes off, ask yourself if your mind has wandered. If so, just refocus on what you’re reading,” she says. By doing this, you strengthen the monitoring process and the ability to maintain focus on a single task. A. Read patiently. B. Perform a single-task exercise. C. Evidence that this works has been mixed. D. Some drugs can slow our ability to think clearly. E. So aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night. F. By focusing on yourself, you get your attention back. G. This can be caused by stressors such as sleep disorders and overloaded information. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. C 19. E 20.

Jefferson County Public School bus driver Larry Farrish Jr. was travelling on his usual route picking up students and send them to nine different schools of the district. But when he stopped to collect first-grader Levi Carrier, he noticed that something was wrong. Because every morning, when he pulled up to the 125th street bus stop, Levi would wave to him with a broad smile on his face and greet him with “Good morning, sir”. That morning, Larry noticed a sad look on Levi’s tear-stained face. Larry asked Levi what was wrong when Levi stepped on the bus. Levi looked up at Larry, face full of tears again and told Larry that he didn’t have any pajamas (睡衣) on the Annual Pajamas’ Day of his school. Larry immediately made sense of the situation. Obviously, the pajama meant a lot to the boy. Larry comforted Levi, asked him to take a seat and promised Levi he would figure it out. Larry knew that the community Levi lived in was a low-income one. People there often couldn’t make ends meet and didn’t have basic living conveniences, such as a washer, dryer hookup or sufficient rooms for the kids. It was not hard to imagine Levi’s situation. All the kids of Levi’s school on the bus were in pajamas of different colours and patterns, talking and laughing all the way except Levi, who was looking down at the bus floor, his hands clutching (紧握) his corner of his worn jacket. After about half an hour, Larry finished his assigned route and dropped all the students off at their respective schools. He sat in his seat for a while, his mind racing for ideas. A few minutes later, his brow (眉毛) relaxed. He called the bus monitor. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He said he had something urgent to deal with. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The picture of the two was posted on the Internet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 He said he had something urgent to deal with. Larry went to a local Family Dollar shop and chose a set of nice pajamas. When Larry arrived back at school, he asked one of the school staff to call Levi down to the hall. The moment Levi saw Larry with a set of pajamas in his hand, he approached Larry with a confused look on his face. “Are these pajamas for me?” Levi asked with half disbelief and half excitement in his voice. After hearing the word “Yes”, Levi’s face lit up. It was the biggest smile that Larry recognised every morning. The receptionist snapped a picture of the touching scene. The picture of the two was posted on the Internet. And it soon went viral. People were touched by Larry’s kindness and generosity and made positive comments under the post. When Larry was asked by the local media why he took the trouble to help Levi, he said he never wanted to see his little passengers hurt because of something so small and that he was happy that he could help. After knowing the kind gesture, Levi’s mother shed tears of gratitude and said she would pay it forward. Just as the saying goes, small acts of kindness make a huge difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。校车司机Larry Farrish Jr.发现一年级学生Levi Carrier失去了往日的笑容，闷闷不乐，原来他们学校要举办年度睡衣日，但他没有睡衣。Larry了解情况后，为Levi买了一套睡衣，这让Levi的脸上重新露出了笑容。这一幕也被拍照上传到了网上，人们对Larry的善举非常感动。小小的善举可以产生巨大影响。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“他说他有急事要处理。”可知，第一段可以描写Larry为Levi买了一套睡衣，让Levi的脸上露出笑容，这一幕被拍了下来。 ②由续写第二段首句“两人的照片被发布在互联网上。”可知，第二段可以描写照片被传到网上后引起了巨大的反响。 2. 段落续写： Larry去商店买了一套睡衣——去学校送给Levi——Levi很开心——这一幕被拍照传到网上——引发巨大的反响 3. 词汇积累： 行为类 ①返回：arrive back/return ②走近：approach/come up to 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②兴奋：excitement/thrill ③高兴的：happy/delighted/glad ④感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】The moment Levi saw Larry with a set of pajamas in his hand, he approached Larry with a confused look on his face.(使用了The moment引导时间状语从句、with复合结构) 【高分句型2】When Larry was asked by the local media why he took the trouble to help Levi, he said he never wanted to see his little passengers hurt because of something so small and that he was happy that he could help.
